Lakers To Introduce Mike Brown As New Head Coach In Tuesday Press Conference
Brown worked for ESPN as a studio analyst for the past year after being fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010. Brown led the Cavs to the 2007 NBA Finals in his first head coaching job in the NBA, and was named the 2009 Coach of the Year. He has huge shoes to fill; Jackson has an NBA record 11 championships as coach, and has the highest winning percentage in league history for coaches with more than one season under their belt.
